<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin relies on external services to provide spam detection and geolocation features. Below is detailed information about each service:</p>
<h4>SpamBanana API (api.spambanana.com)</h4>
<p><strong>What it does:</strong> Analyzes comments using Machine Learning (Logistic Regression + TF-IDF) to detect spam.</p>
<p><strong>When data is sent:</strong> Every time a comment is submitted on your WordPress site (unless the user is logged in and you’ve disabled checking for logged-in users).</p>
<p><strong>What data is sent:</strong><br />

* Comment author name<br />
* Comment author email<br />
* Comment author IP address<br />
* Comment author website URL (if provided)<br />

<p><strong>Why it’s needed:</strong> WordPress servers have limited resources. By processing spam detection on our dedicated ML servers, we:<br />

* Provide faster spam detection<br />
* Use advanced Machine Learning models that would be too resource-intensive to run locally<br />
* Continuously improve accuracy through centralized learning from millions of comments<br />
* Reduce AI costs for users by sharing infrastructure</p>
<p><strong>Data retention:</strong> Comment data is stored temporarily for analysis and learning. Spam detection results are kept to improve the ML model accuracy over time.</p>

* Service Terms: https://spambanana.com/terms<br />
* Privacy Policy: https://spambanana.com/privacy<br />

<h4>IP-API.com (ip-api.com)</h4>

<p><strong>When data is sent:</strong> Only when GeoIP blocking is enabled in settings, and only for new IP addresses not in cache (cached for 7 days).</p>
<p><strong>What data is sent:</strong><br />
* Visitor’s IP address only</p>
<p><strong>Why it’s needed:</strong> To identify the country of origin for comments, allowing you to block spam from specific countries if desired.</p>
<p><strong>Privacy & Terms:</strong><br />
* Service website: http://ip-api.com<br />
* Terms of Service: https://ip-api.com/docs/legal<br />

SilentShield – Captcha & Anti-Spam for WordPress (CF7, WPForms, Elementor, WooCommerce)

If you look for antispam plugins for the Avada theme forms there are not very many solutions available. 

Just this one if you don't want to use external services in any way (Captcha or SaaS).

So I tried it.

But it did not work for the contact template, so I opened up a support thread. First answer in under 1 hour and 24 hours later a new version which has added this missing feature.

Well done! And thanks again for the fast solution.

To note a bit more about the plugin:
-> It hast not very much options, so it should be easy to configure for everyone. 
-> Although it may be does nothing if you don't configure it, so do not forget to check those settings.
-> The config is well structured and explained.

If you want to apply a fast honeypot solution for Avada this is good solution.

I will check with my client if the outcome (blocking spam) is as good as I hope.

If yes, 5 stars are deserved! 

Fast support and great working solution

SilentShield – the invisible shield against spam. Spam is the weed of the internet. It clogs your forms, steals your time, and corrupts your data.
